You can reserve a license plate and resell it in the UK?
US $9,500 for a plate? Seems a bit excessive, even for those who can afford an R8.
My custom plate was $50 -- MMIXR8

Number plates make big money in the UK. One sold in January this year for £440,000 !
yep, the uk government themselves auction off "vanity" plates for big money:
http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/home/en/Auction/
according to the 2007/08 accounts the dvla took £86,948,000 from the sale of marks that year alone (which will include normal as well as vanity), plus £44m in fees for vanity plate transfers.
have to remember that unlike the us, we have just one central authority issuing unique plates for the whole country - some 30 million vehicles all needing plates. basic supply and demand...

London Lad & randombloke, thank you for explaining the UK vehicle registration plate market.
I think I should of created this thread for UK Audi R8 owners only. I did not realise how cheap plates were worth outside the UK.
Anyway, the plate is still for sale if any UK owners are interested. Will take offers.
